Nowadays, a lot of written material is produced on computer, so wouldn't it be good if the computer could help you to check it? That is exactly what Drivel Defence does. It includes the following two tools.

Drivel Defence for Text. This allows you to check text by copying it from any software or document. It's ideal for letters or reports. You can use Drivel Defence for Text from this website, or you can download it and run it on your own computer.

Drivel Defence for Web. This is a tool specifically to help website developers check whether the content of web pages is in plain English. To use it you must download it and run it on your own computer.

Both programs can give you a detailed report on your use of Plain English, but neither makes any changes. This leaves you in control. Use them to keep drivel at bay.

Downloads

Both programs are quite small, so they should download very quickly. The programs are JavaScript based web page files. Nothing is actually installed on your computer, you just need to put the files together in one folder on your computer. Because the programs are just web pages, they should run on any operating system that has a recent web browser.
